A Naturalist's Guide to Seashore Plants: An Ecology for Eastern North America

Book Description

This invaluable book provides an illustrated ecology of eastern seashore habitats, including the ocean and continental shelf, the intertidal zone, sand dunes and beaches, and salt marshes.

Donald D. Cox uses nontechnical terminology in order to provide clear references for the general public as well as professional and amateur naturalists and students. He explores the origins of the oceans, tides, wind belts, and land plants and includes useful illustrations for aid in identification.

Most significantly, this guide brings together a wide range of information relative to ocean and seashore ecosystems. Cox includes the types of plants that grow near the seashore; adaptations that help plants survive in seashore habitats; poisonous, medicinal, and edible plants of the ocean and seashore; seasonal changes in the seashore habitat; and methods of naming plants and the folklore of common names.

The author also provides complete and accurate details for those readers who are interested in collecting plants and preserving plant collections. The final chapter offers non-technical investigations, activities, and projects. Conservation and habitat preservation are emphasized throughout the book.

An excellent and well illustrated discussion of design........1999-02-18

My only criticism is that the book should have been longer.

Creating Logos & Letterheads is an enjoyable-to-read how-to book. Every page is illustrated with a design project. Each project is explained, and for those done by the author, the early sketches used in brainstorming are included. Very informative. Full of good ideas, which I fully intend to steal for my web site design business. My thanks to Ms. Place for sharing her expertise with us.

A Very Original Compendium Of Design.......2007-03-25

"Letterhead and Logo Design 4" is a great collection of contemporary graphic design. There is a brief introduction that touches on the importance of the intertwining of logo, letterhead, and body copy as integrated design elements, but beyond that the book is largely a visual feast for people interested in graphic design. The book focuses on letterhead and business cards, but also explains in brief captions the thoughts of the designers on the logos, fonts, and overall designs. There is a useful index and directory of participating designers at the end of the book, should you wish to contact any of the entities or designers represented.

There are many outstanding and original designs depicted, and anyone looking for concepts for printed corporate materials would be well served by studying this book. I especially enjoyed the choices of multiple hues used in the work of Kelly O. Stanley, Rick Tharp, and Melissa Passehl. Some of the more graphically intense efforts, such as the letterhead designed by Rick Eiber for The American Institute of Graphic Arts, 1995 National Design Conference, might be a bit avant garde for many, but I appreciated them, as well. I was likewise blown away by many of the relatively stark designs that showcased colors and fonts in unusual ways; I was especially taken by the letterhead designed by Ciro Giordano.

This is a great reference for graphic artists, designers, and individuals or companies with an eye towards a new corporate image, and I highly recommend it to all those audiences.

very useful for a professional.......2002-10-16

There are no explanations in this book. So you can use it only if you are completely understand the purpose of the design. Very good as a source of ideas. A little old, but still good for those who are on the edge.

beautiful!.......2000-08-02

This book is absolutely incredible -- hundreds of stunning designs for all types of businesses. Large, beautiful color photos of entire corporate identity sets (logos, letterhead, envelopes, etc) and close-ups of black and white logos. Flipping through the pages gave me lots of inspriation for my clients, and a couple of great ideas for redesign of my own company pieces. You won't be sorry if you buy this one.

Great Ideas.......2000-07-09

This is a very colorful presentation of letterheads and logos. Each page has a large picture of the letterheads and business cards -- makes it easy to view and spur ideas. Each page is dedicated to only one letterhead design - so you can see the details!

It is an excellent collection of letterheads and logos........1998-02-25

This book is a good idea starter. From looking at what others have come up with, you begin to come up with ideas of your own. It is very colorful and professional...Jasmine

Read better books-the way some stories are explained leave you wondering--"WHAT?" But is an ok Read.......2007-05-04

Book in Awesome shape!!!!

Beautifully inspirational.......2003-03-06

This book is beautifully inspirational, describing amazing acts of kindness by an assortment of animals. Arlene Millman, author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY (The tale of a remarkable Boston Terrier).

Incredibly heart-warming.......2000-02-05

A most beautiful collection of inspiring stories. This book tells tales about almost every animal, from mice to elephants. You will discover something new in every page as you learn more about these animals' feelings. Some stories show the courage and devotion of certain animals, and some other stories tell about more subtle acts of kindness. Yet, there is a smile, and perhaps a tear, in each and every one of those stories. Truly inspiring.

Pets are Angels.......1999-05-24

This book Animal Angels-Amazing Acts of love and compassion is such an inspiring book.
